The three former were clerks, and the two , aiter porters, in aiding and abe!ting Win.. Hodges 1 . -1 setting up and'carrying on a Private Lottery, or Little Go, in Pall Mall. Mr. GURNEY attended for tte.proseCalion, and briefly grated the case. Mr. MA R R YATT attended for the defendants, and vhjecied\ to the' information on which the warrant wa • founded being produced, which was over-ruled by Mr. NA.II ES. . • SamuelTau - nton, one of the condnetors of the pa t-oie, said that he went with William Cleminn, a c,niiaJile belonging to the pitrish of St.. Martin, and st.veral, otiwts, to execute a wart ant between pine and ten o'clock, on the night of the 15th instant, to the house of William Hodges, in 'Pall - Mall ; be went to a side door in, a court adjoining the house, the door was open, they found no obstruEtion in en tering. They proceeded along a passage into a room where several people were assembled ; the prisoner, WilmOre, was standing with the door in,his hand— he shut the dOor on perceiving the ptrole following him, and endeavoured to keep theM out. Ther'e c!e bet .)-een 30 and 40 Men, women and children, asembled in the room and in the passage. The pri soners Whiteman, Wakefield, and Taylor, were in the room behind the counter, the others were be fore it. The women and others endifavonred to rush not. The witness then seized a book, and took Whiteman, Taylor, and - Wakefield, into cus 'tody, with the assistance of two other officers. He then seized some cards, p•Aner v silver, halfpence, &c.. On his cross-examination he slid, he did not ob serve the five prisoners doing any -thing, only three of them were \ behind the counter. He did not see a little go or little lottery wheels drawing, exercis ing, or playing in any part of the house which they searched, neither did they and-any htanki or prizes on ivory. - James Lake said, he was a constable belonging to, the parish of Bloomsbury. He went with Taunton and others to execute the warrant, on the night of the 15th instant. He first went to the hours on the night or the sth instant ; he "next went on the night of:rifel4th inst. On the sth instant e saw all th e . prisoners- there, also on the 14a) in s tant. Mr. IA UU&YATT objected that no evidenee Of any transactions, previous in the execution of the war rant, ought to be . received.. Mr. G UNLY replied at- considerable length, and the onjet.tion was overrtfl , d. • The witness proceed- d to state, that, on the sth she prisoner . , Ci Non, was at the door, aet ing ai the porter ; at the same tithe he - saw the pri soer, in the passage, s'ittin , g at a door lading into Mr. Hodges 's State L ottery O ffi ce. Whitenian was in the room ; ()ciatinf,z, as clerk, and taking insurai,c.i. The %ILite-is insured with him. Wakefi eld'Taylor were bei,ind the same counter, acting as clerks. Err a-4.ed Whiteman the price Of his insurances, and he handed him over a his; of prices, and he paid. him i i3s. for insuring lin. ell for ten guineas, it vas drawn a blank or prize, And five guineas pri'Le only. Tilts re:was a number of person insurlng at the sane time. The pri soner, Whiteman, that night left the room before the. drawing of the Lottery was announced . ; and bet6re he haft the ninth he handed over a sealed nett-r to Wakefield, as containinr , the numbers that had been drawn that night ; and about ten o'clock Wakefield and Wilmore asked it any more persona wanted to insure any more nuinbers, and none an swering, he opened the letter, and annontice'd the numbers that were drawn. Wakefield and Taylor then wrote On several pieces of pa per the nuttibvrs that had been drawn. Taylor gave hint tine of the lists:. When he Went aaiu iiii 4 the'l4th instant, all ;he pris'nner3 were there, and employed in the same way, and lie then insured with Wakefield No. 61 for ti‘e guineas, and No. 17 for one guinea, for which he paid eleven bbilli:rgs. He confirmed Taun ton's evidence as to what took place on the night of the 15th invant, and said his b:other insured No. 15 for half a-guinea with W4kefield, and paid one sndling. _ _ _ was cbufirmed by a number of Other wit- UeSies. Mr. ADOLPRU . S . Wdi_ heard at considerable length in a very ingenious, speech for the prisoners. He al , owed that the prsopers came within the Meaning e of the Act of P.iiliarnent, to subje& them to a pe r:Pity of ipol. but very ably coutendid that whit was proved against them did not come within _the to-fining of the 17th of George subject them to be convicted as rogues and %agabOnds, as it wits - - not proved that a 'Allele), or private lottery, was secop and drawn by Yfriliain Hodges, at his houstt, in Pad Mall, and that the prisoners were aiOiti and ab!tting him. Mr. GURNEY replied briefly. e Mr. NARES took a full view of all. that had been said upon the•subjed, ,and had no doubt from the &vidence, be had a power of conviding under the Aa .01 Parliament, and gave as e an instance, that the pre- Sent Load Chancellor said of the Bill, when it was passing ihtough the House of Lords, he ohjtcted to it on the groun I of its being . too ses;ere e.e by its being so very fully and closelir worded, that it would be n,r any person to escape under it upon the most trifling charge of ganibiing. He theref o re convicted them all as rognes e and vagabonds; he had s orne doubts as to his having tlie, powii of co o mitting for a certain time,, 9r - Souding e them to the Ses.ions ; he should, e ho:,vever, do the latter. GuaNet hoped pUblic_ whipping would be added to the imprisonment, as he was convinced, ~from the description of the prisoners, that was the 'only pu,nishment that Watild deter them from similar practices. , .• • .• • The Ma , istrate declined complying with this re- They vrere c mr*teediorthe:ilouse of Correc tion tail the Sesious.

This bting the first day of Trinity - Tern, the Ch'iel Justices of the several Courts of Common Law, and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, toge ther with the other Judges- of all the Courts sA aitt,d on the Lord Chancellor this morning at his house in Bedford-squale, where they partook of a very sumptuous breakfast ; from thence they attended his Lordship, who went in State to'Westinir.ster Hall, where they were met, according to custom, by the King's Counsel and Svrjants at Law, and business commenced in the respectiVe Courts. - COURT OF KINC'S BENCH. , Lord ELLENBOROUGH took ' , seat at talf-past one o'clock, when the report or the state . of the con yids is 'Woolwich, Langston, and . othe. places, %vat made, as is now usual, on the ti:st day of each ,re spepive Term ;', from it their demeanour appeared orderly and tranquil. Their Lordslitips next proceed ed to near motions in jos? iticat ion'of bal. The only case of that kind which claitned'any particular atten tion, was that of HILL V. TAYLOR. The plaintiff is an Attorney ; the defendant is a Gentleman well known as belonging to the Opera House. His bail, in this case ; way .opposed, upon the ground that, pending a writ of whiCh now exists against him, his bail would not he per mitted to justify, and this the Attorneyst;enerd held to be, in most cases, the practice, subject certainly to the discretion of the Court. Mr. GARROW, on behalf of the defendant, Tayloy, urged his right to justify bail, as that vet) , justifica tion would go towards expediting the arrangement that is now pending b.rtweeit the parties. The Court allowed the justitiAtion, observing, however, that they would still have in reserve the pOwer of acting upon the cutlawry t notwithstanding the,bail, it the arrangement in,yue;ition did not in the event take place. HAVEREORD WEST. _ Mr. Serjeant LENh moved for a.rule ; why a writ, in the nature of a - quo warrant , ), should not issue against three persons in Haverford West, of the names of Phillips, Parry, and .Roach, to strew cause why they exercised theioffice of Common Council men of that borough. The ground tm Muth the application was made, was, that they had not been properly qualified for this office, not having taken the holy sacrament of the Lord's Supper within one year next before they offered themselves as candidates for the office . above mentioned. Mr. DXMPIER, who was with Mr. Serjeant stated, that the day election was - a Monday, when the defendantS were askuil if they hitd taken the Sacrament, and they refused to give ally answer; that thereupon the Mayor, who was in tiAir interest,• adjourned the Court till the next dly. On the next day, accordingly; they again presented them selves as Candidates; when. the same'question as to their qualification was repeated. They at once an swered,- and said they had taken the Sacrament, and they were electtd. But it turned out that the time and place where they took the Sacrament of the. Lore's Supper was on the same Monday, inunedi, atery after dinner, at Lady Kensington's, at Haver ford West, where her Ladyship had a largo party to entertain, and that the clergyman who administered it was himself one .of the Common Council, and. in tine interest of Lord li.ensington,wtia was the Mayor of the town, and whose friends were the said de fendants. Lord ELIANaOROUGH, on hearing the A6l for . admiuisrering the Lord's Supper, and the Rubric, read, said, 4 ‘ this certainly is a. tit subject for legal inquiry—take your rule."—Rule to shew cause grauted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Yesterday the Judges of • this Court, Sir JAMES MANSVIELCI, Mr. Justice CHAMBHS, Mr. Justice HEATH. and Sir SOUL:JAN LAW i ttBNCE, took their sears, with the formality usual on the first day of Term. _ After. hail: had been .justified, aid the rou tine business. had ,been disposed of, the Court rose. The Barons of the Exchequer also sat in the Court of Exchequer.with the usual form. LIFi-GrARD'S.—The highly meritorious conduet of these fine.regiments of CaVairy in the discharge of a painful 'duty, has lately subjected them to many personal Mullis from the brutal and disaffected. Though fortunately their, services were not wanting in aid of the Civil Pooter on ThurSday last, yet a party of them were called -out, and acted on that evening, upon a • particular occasion, in a manner which every true Englishman must warmly applaud : —About nine o'clock, a hackney coach, loaded with disappOinred Bur dettites both inside and our, stopped their vehicle immediately opposite the main gate of the Life Guard barracks at Knightsbridge, tor the express and cowardly purpose of insulting the cen tinel there on his post, by inveighing for near a quarter of an hour against the corps, in language the most gross and opprobrious. At length half a dozen Life Guardsmen being . called to the gate by the loud imprecations of these assailants, no sooner learned the extent of the insult, than they threw their Side-arms by, ran to the coach, end stopring the buries, then about to be driven on, dismounted the eight out-side passengers, gave them a sound pugilistic dressing, and then opening the coach-; door, made the six inside alight (who were equal offenders), gave tht'm a similar manual correc tion also, and then' made the coachman drive off, and leave hii fare of vanquished malecontents be hind him, .to the great satistattion of The honest sons of John Bull, who were - spectators of this exemplary castigation ! Yesterday seventeen or eighteen prisoners were eharged before the sitting Alderman, 'at Guildhall, with breaking the windows, making disturbance and exciting others to do so in the streets on Thurs day night within the,city. The Constables and Police Officers had mixed with the mob and immediately took the parties into custody whom they saw throw at winddws. 'Most of them expresSed their sorrow for what they had done, and were willing to make good the damage , which the Alderin'au consented to, and discharged with a caution not to be guilty of such disorderly Conduct in futuie.

"- Whereas divers wicked, seditious, and trea sonable writings have been printed, ,published, and dispersed in this Province, with the care and Go vernment of which I am entrusted'; and whereas such writings have been expressly circulated to mis lead his Majesty's good subjects, to impress their •Minds with mistrust and jealousy .of his Majesty's Government, to alienate their affeetions from his Majesty's person, and to bring into contempt and vilny the administration of justice, and of the Go vervinent of are country; and whereas, in the prosecution of these wicked and traitorous purposes, their authors and abettors have not scrupled audaci ously to advance the most gross and daring fal,e hoods, whilst the industry that has been employed in dispersing and disseminating them at s a very great expellee, but the source of which /is not known, strongly evinces the perseverance and iniplaca:;ility with which it is intended that these purposes should be pursued ; and whereas, consistently with that duty which I owe to his Majesty, and thatatfectinn and regard with which I view the welfare and pros- - perity of the inhabitants of this colony, it 'was no , poSsible for me any longer to disregard • or: suffer prattices so direCtly tending to subvett the,Govetn ment of the former, and, to destroy the happiness of the latter; I do, - therefore, hereby announce, with the advice and Concurrence of his Mijesty's Exectl - Council; that, with the . same advice and con currence, measures have been adopted, and that, due information having been given to three of his - Majesty's said Executive Counsellors, warrants, as by law authorized, have been issued, under which some of the authors, printers, and publishers of the writings aforesaid, have been, apprehended and secured. " Deeply impressed with a desire to promote, in all respects, the welfare and happiness of -the good people of this Province, and acting under the in structions of the most benevolent and beSt of Sove reigns, whose faithful servant I have been for nearly', as 7long a period as the oldest inhabitant has been his subject, and whose highest . displeasure.' should incur, if I made any other than that happiness and Welfare the whole of my condua, it would indeed . be, with a very sincere concern, that 1 should find 'reason to believe-that the arts of these factious .and designing men had produced any effea, and that doubts and jealousies should have sound their way, and have established- ,themselves in the minds of deluded 'persons. , • fc To these, if any such there be, and;. in - deed, - to-the public in, general,.

During the fifty . years they have been under the. British dominion, has one act of oppression,-has one instance of arbi trary: imptisonment, or of violation of property, occurred ?

By what arguments can they expel, that a people, in the enjoyment of everrblessing that can contribute to happiness in this wprld, shall renounce that happiness to embrace their views ? I3y what - argument can they expect that a brave and loyal people, hitherto impressed with the warmest and sincerest attachment to the best of Kings, whose whole reign has been one stiles of benefits bestowed on them, shall abandon that loyalty,' and become monsters of ingratitude, fit to be' held-up - to file detestation of the world, to promote their projeas It is trtie, the most base and diabblicat - falsehoods are insidiously promulgated and . sdiSseininated: - In one part, it is announced as my intention to em body and make soldiers of you, and that having applied to the late House of Representatives to enable them to assemble 12,000 of you for that.pur pose, and ,they-having declined 'to do so, I had therefore dissolved them.
